RIMOSA was complete success at WaterFire! We displayed our Zoetrope animation machine, colored spot lights and shadow sculptures for over 100 visitors. Not only did they learn about RIMOSA and our programs, but also had a lot of fun creating simple animations and playing with colored shadows.

This Fall RIMOSA is busier than ever – we have programming every day after school from mid-September through November! We are delighted to partner for the first time with “Aligning the Learning Day” (ALD) at two schools in Cranston and one in Coventry – where we will be offering a wide variety of our outreaches for their afterschool […]

Ever wonder what RIMOSA would look like when we finally build our site? Paste this link (http://youtu.be/xJXyMK-Qcm8) into your web browser to see a short movie of our installation at Brown University this past March. We took over a small gallery for a day. Imagine what we could do with more space and time!

We had SUCH a good time at our “pop-up” at Brown’s 250th on March 8th! People of all ages experimented with our Flight Tube to see what flew, what wouldn’t, and how to alter things to make them fly differently. They made their own animations on our Zoetrope, and they wrote their hopes and dreams […]

Our Mission

Is to kindle curiosity and encourage experimentation. Or, more officially, The Rhode Island Museum of Science and Art merges art and science creating innovative, interactive exhibits and programs that awaken curiosity, encourage experimentation, and improve understanding of the world around us.

Our Audience

Although our focus is towards older children–too old for children's museums, but too young to have lost the desire to tinker, experiment and create–our open-ended, hands-on exhibits are engaging, fascinating, and fun for all ages!

Our Location

RIMOSA is happy to announce that we have a site! We now share a space with fellow non-profit organization, Inspiring Minds at 763 Westminster St Providence, RI. We are currently setting up our exhibits and will open in June to the public!
RIMOSA is still running programs with our partners around RI and will be very busy this summer with library programs and community camps.
